for the Standard.

Monday was very disagreeable,
scattering snowfiakes fell at intervals
all day long till late in the evening,
then began falling thick and fast, till
the ground was almost covered with
the beautiful snow.
There was pretty hard freeze last
night which | notice has killed
much of the tender vegetation, the
apples in my orchard that were in
bloom were killed, the leaves on the
trees were also killed. / was a little
mistaken last week in saying that
the peaches were all killed, there
is a good many left in some orchards.
Today | made an examination of
them in my orchard, and was not
able to find any but dead ones, hope
however that other orchards have es-
capped.
The main topic of conversation now
is the railroad, everybody is anxious
ly awaiting to see where it is to be
located. One route has been survey
ed up Stones river from Woodbury.,
another route / understand is being
surveyed up Hills creek. If the
former is adopted as the route the
road will 60 some five miles north of
here, but if the latter is to be the
route and the road runs on any thing
like direct line from the top of the
Mountain to the Caney Fork Falls,

Incidental Mention OF People and Their
Affairs from n Standard Contributor.

We are having winter now as you
all know and the ground is covered
with light snow this morning (Tues-
day.. The leaves are frost bitten and
fruit is certainly killed. People fear
that the oats and clover sOwn this
spring are killed. Gardens which
have been planted out look white in
stead of green.
A considerable amount of grass
seed has been sown this spring. Farm
ers are behind with their work and
we have heard of no corn being plant
cd as yet. Some pieces Of wheat look
very well, others look rather puny.
Mules, horses, cattle, sheep, and
hogs are going like hot cakes. More
live stock has changed hands this sea-
son than for a number ofyears. Farm
ers are generally working mules, but
some have changed from mules to
horses and mares
Our friend Bob Barnett is now Con-
stable of the 4th civil district, having
been elected at a special election for
chat purpose. Bob was Tax Assessor
for his district this year and he has
assessed all persons, black and white,
some from Smith county, and when
we last heard Of him he was going to
the 9Th district of Van Buren, county
to assess the people of that section.
We vote Bob a good one in that line
Of business.
There was singing at Mount Yer

IRELAND's TROUBLES.

Barbarons Character Of Recent Evictions-
Points from the New Coercion Bill.
LONDON, Jan. 18.-The Standard says there
are beyond question, many cases which bring
shame and discredit upon the whole body of
landlords in Ireland; cases wherein landowners
have not behaved with any show of
respect for equity and in which they
have done gross wrong to those
whose happiness, and even lives, depended upon
their landlords forbearance. Such landlords
the Standard says, have no right to be supplied
by the government with the means of enforcing
the DEGREES granted them by strict process Of
law
Some OF the evictions enforced this winter
have been inhuman spectacles fit only for a
barbarous country and barbarous age, and the
government may we'll consider whether it is not
time to dissociate tho exemption of the Irish
executive from the enforcement of such DEGREES.
The Standard says the government will at an
early date submit measure for dealing more
effectually with the agrarian conspiracy in Ire
land. The bill will empower the Grown, in GER
tain cases, to summon special juries, and if
necessary, make change Of venue
1t viii also confer upon magis-
trates the power to deal summarily
with prisoners charged with incitine to violence,
conspiracy, intimidation and boycotting, the
punishment for which onenses shall not exceed
throe months imprisonment The bill has al
ready received the approval Of the Cabinet, and

KILLED BY ODORLESS GAS.
Three Residents Of Troy, N. Y. Found Dead.
Having Been Asphyxiated in Their Chairs.

TROY. Jan. IA singular and fatal accident
occurred in this city last pight. A police officer
was told by restaurant-keeper at No. 393 River
street that he and his family had been stupefied
from the effects. as he presumed. of fuel gas
which had entered their apartments. The gas
company's building is near by. The gas was
shut off, and an examination of the houses in
the neighborhood was made. In one room of
tenement-house three persons, William Gilillan,
Ida Bennett and Caroline Bennett. were found
dead, sitting around the room as they had been
conversing when the gas overcame them. The
bodies were taken to an undertaker's room and
the coroner notified. The other families in the
neighborhood were aroused and ordered by the
police to leave their houses. A leak in the pipe
which runs through the district was probably
the cause of the accident, the gas being odorless
The names of the three persons suffocated were
Mrs. Caroline Benut, seventy three years DID,
her daughter, Mrs. William Glfllan, and Charles
Pratt. Twenty other persons were more or less
affected in the same locality. The survivors
say they experienced drowsiness and sickness
at the stomach The authorities are investi-
eating the matter. and a special meeting of the
Common Council has been called to take neces-
sary action. The company has shut off the gas
from its mains, and will not supply it to custom
ers until it can make gas that is not odorless
The board of health will also take action A
few weeks ago, in the same vicinity, several
persons were overcome by gas.
